Hello!! My name is Ana just like the Disney princess! I'm a junior at CU studying to be an ER pediatric nurse. My decision to pursue nursing was influenced by my interactions as a nanny. With 9 years of babysitting experience taking care of infants to 15 years old, I approach every family I work with as if they were my own. I strive to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing that their little ones are in the hands of someone trustworthy. I thrive on the contagious energy that children bring, and I enjoy engaging with them through interactive play. Safety and security are my top priorities, but I also make sure to create a fun and entertaining environment. I constantly come up with new games and activities to keep the time spent together enjoyable. Responsibility is of utmost importance to me, and I always adhere to the rules set by parents to establish trust and transparency. In addition, I have experience in potty training and knowledge of sign language.

Hi, I’m Koryn! I’m 23 and currently studying Psychology. I have minors in Communications and Sociology. I plan to attend Graduate School for clinical or developmental psychology. I’m fully vaccinated and certified in adult, child, and infant First Aid, AED, and CPR. Working with kids has been a part of my life for years, and it’s something that truly fills me up. I believe childhood should be full of curiosity, creativity, and connection, so I love planning activities that spark imagination while also holding space for kids to just be themselves. I follow a child-led approach, which for me means tuning in to each little one’s energy, needs, and rhythms, and letting them guide our time together. As a full-time student, I’m available for date nights and occasional sitting. My intention is always to create a safe, nurturing, and uplifting environment where kids feel free to grow, explore, and thrive. I’d love the chance to meet your family and support your little one’s journey.

I am a caregiver by nature. I find myself the most fulfilled when I am caring for children and animals. I love being a parent. My 3 children are now adults. I've recently spent a lot of time with and babysitting for my 7 grandchildren who range in age from 1 to 12 years old. I was the primary caregiver for my granddaughter since birth until recently when she turned 5. I also served in the infant nursery at our church for several years (newborn-2 years), I am a Colorado native. I would love the opportunity to care for your child. Rest assured that they will be well cared for and that I will always respect your preferences for how you would like the care to be provided.

Hello! I'm a 39-year-old, fully vaccinated developmental and sleep specialist nanny living in Thornton. I have degrees in neuroscience and psychology, during which time I completed a coveted pediatric sleep research fellowship. I am currently working on a remote master's degree in sleep medicine from Oxford University. I’ve nannied and provided regular sitting for most of the last 20 years in both Denver and Nashville. I am currently looking to expand my rotation of families for date night sitting while I finish school and I am potentially open to part time nanny work (25-30 hours) for the right family. I’m a big believer in developmental-stage focused activies, child-led play, and engaging kids in ways that instill them with a love for learning. I have experience from birth through grade school and have had kids I adore at every age. My love of early childhood development and passion for raising strong, compassionate, and resilient kids is what led me to pursue my degrees. I have provided the two required references but if you need or want more please don't hesitate to ask for as many as you need. Talk to you soon! Dana

Hi there families, I am a seasoned Early Childhood Teacher and am TRUSTLINE verified (this is a deeper background check than what they run here) happy to give you my ID# upon request. I have worked with young children (infant to 12 years of age) in a variety of settings for over 25 years: preschool teacher, nanny, camp-counselor, dramatic-arts coach, classroom volunteer and mother. I am a self-starter with high energy. My extensive experience and maturity bring both wisdom and calm while still embodying youth and vitality. I have been told that I float seamlessly among all age groups and have been referred to as a “Yoga-Mary Poppins”. I have a BA with emphasis in psychology, an AA in Early Childhood Education, CPR/First-Aid certifications and a vast understanding of children with different learning styles. I have a working knowledge of different ECE modalities: Reggio, Waldorf, Montessori, Play-based and RIE. I believe children learn best and THRIVE when all their needs (social/emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative) are being addressed and met. I am dedicated to the well-being of children and have strong competency in creating nurturing environments where children feel safe, seen, respected and excited. I know how to set boundaries (while still validating child's feelings), anticipate meltdowns and redirect with ease. My intention when working with babies and children is to focus on engaging them in active educational play that supports their developmental milestones. I enjoy “play with a purpose” whether it’s park days, interactive games, nature outings, library story-times, crafts or science projects; your baby/child will be learning and nurtured when they are with me!

I believe kids needs to have opportunities to do fun things in the summer and I will plan day trips and outdoor activities to engage them both physically and mentally. I am also a certified teacher and am willing to negotiate tutoring services during childcare hours. I am an expert in teaching reading and own an all inclusive reading program for all ages that has been proven successful. I am also skilled in teaching elementary math and writing as well as science. Additionally, I have provided both Spanish and guitar lesson for beginners. I have worked in various childcare facilities as well as individual families doing before and after school care in Colorado working with infants through middle school-aged children. I planned daily activities and learning units that were engaging to students even in an after school care program. I also spent 2 years caring for infants at a Montessori center. I am very comfortable with children of all ages. I believe that play is is how children learn and I love providing various play experiences for all ages. In additional to caring for children, I have been teaching elementary school for 10 years. I have taught grades 2-6, and most recently I have become a reading specialist, teaching children who struggle with dyslexia. Currently, I am a grad student at Denver Seminary finishing up my master's degree in Counseling. I am recently married and look forward to starting a family of my own, but in the mean time, the next best thing is helping other busy parents provide nurturing care for their children. I am available for Thursdays and Fridays during the day as well as for date nights and overnights. Send me a message if you want a fun, energetic, and nurturing sitter!

I have always had jobs centered around child care ever since I was about 14. I started out babysitting for family friends, then worked at a pumpkin patch, coached soccer and volleyball, tutored, worked at a church nursery, taught preschool, and 1st and 6th grade. I am pediatric first aid certified and just finished my masters program for elementary education, and I am now pursuing my phd in special education. I have become very familiar caring for children with high behavioral needs. I also have a three year old daughter who likes to tag along and meet new kids!
